But it doesn’t work, and even though Claire hates herself and Leo, she can’t be happy. Claire rolls in
bed for hours. Thinking of flying tomorrow morning, she gets up in the early morning and packs.
When her luggage is almost packed, it is almost dawn. She lies on the bed and has a little rest, but
sleepiness comes at this time. Unconsciously, Claire falls asleep.
Fortunately, Claire set the alarm last night, otherwise she will definitely sleep until noon. When the
alarm goes off, Claire jumps out of bed. She gets up in a hurry to wash her face and brush her teeth
and change clothes. When she is ready, it is almost time to start.
She thinks of Leo saying last night that they are going to the airport together. She doesn’t know if it
counts. Does he go directly from the hospital to the airport?
Claire doesn’t know Leo’s schedule. She takes out her mobile phone and calls Leo. Unexpectedly, no
one answers.
Claire calls again, but no one answers.
Claire murmurs discontentedly. At last she reluctantly puts down her mobile phone and picks up her
luggage to go out.
Anyway, he is an adult and can go to the airport by himself. Claire doesn’t care about him.
Claire takes a taxi to the airport. When she arrives at the airport, it is already 7:10, and she is about to
check in. Claire takes out her cell phone again to call Leo. No one answers the phone.
“Damn Leo, what are you doing?” Claire stares angrily at her cell phone. He’s going on a business trip
but he hasn’t come yet and doesn’t answer the phone. What a jerk!
Time flies. Seven fifteen, seven twenty, seven thirty...
The boarding time is almost over. Claire is very worried at the moment. During this period, she calls
Leo countless times, but Leo seems to disappear. He doesn’t answer the phone and doesn’t come.
Claire is very anxious when she watches the line of people checking tickets. In the end, she reluctantly
calls the number that has been called countless times.
It’s the last time! If he doesn’t answer, she will go home! Fucking business trip!
Maybe God hears Claire’s angry roar. This time someone finally answers, but she hears a woman’s
voice.
“You are...” Claire looks at the screen of her mobile phone with some uncertainty and thinks she has
the wrong number.
It’s right!
The woman smiles lazily. “Leo goes out to buy me breakfast. What’s the matter with you? You call your
boss so many times. It seems that you don’t listen to the warning I gave you.”
The woman’s voice is a little familiar, and through what she said, Claire recognizes her. “Tracy? Is that
you?”
“Call me Mrs. Howard!” Tracy scolds discontentedly. She says haughtily, “stop calling. Leo has to take
care of me at the hospital. He doesn’t have time to go on business or talk to you.”
With that, Tracy gives Claire no chance to speak and proudly hangs up.
“...” Claire stares at the screen of her mobile phone and is furious.
Leo! What the hell are you doing! You’re going on a business trip but you don’t call me! I called you, but
your woman humiliated me. Leo, you bastard!
Claire stands alone in the huge waiting hall. She has only one suitcase by her side. Occasionally a few
passers-by pass by. She is so angry that she is about to cry.
If there aren’t many people here, she will cry in spite.
Leo, I don’t believe you anymore!
Claire is more upset than angry. She seems to have returned to those awkward days. For six years
Claire has lived a relaxed life and has not been humiliated in this way.
Claire stands there for a long time and calms down. She leaves the airport with her suitcase and takes
a taxi home.
On the way back, Claire receives a call from Leo. Claire looks at her mobile screen. She wants to hang
up but she answers for no reason!
“...”
Claire puts her phone close to her ear and doesn’t say a word.
“Angie?” Leo can’t hear her voice and asks uncertainly.
Claire responds in a low voice and stops speaking.
It’s him, not Tracy!
Claire is upset, but she is surprised that it is Leo who calls her, so she whispers.
Leo is relieved to hear her voice and continues, “Tracy had a car accident and I have to take care of
her in the hospital. Our business trip is delayed.”
As Tracy said, Leo is willing to give up today’s business trip to accompany her.
However, the explanation comes too late. She has been waiting at the airport for an hour!
Claire answers casually and hangs up before Leo speaks.
She looks down quietly at her injured foot. She puts on her shoes to walk today. Though she is lame,
she is not so embarrassed as before.
Leo certainly doesn’t know she has to endure the pain to carry her suitcase downstairs and to the
airport.
He must not know what she suffers. He doesn’t know six years ago or six years later. He may only be
concerned about Tracy, who is hospitalized for injuries.
Claire is still upset when she gets home.
Claire goes home and throws the suitcase aside and goes to bed.
She didn’t sleep all night and is in a bad mood so she falls asleep soon. It is afternoon when she wakes
up again.
Claire can’t walk around because of her foot injury, so she turns on her computer and surfs the Internet.
When she is browsing the web, suddenly a video appears in the middle of the screen, and Claire sees
Conan in the video.
“Conan!”
Claire sees her son for the first time these days. She immediately cheers up and throws away all her
unhappiness. She is ecstatic to see Conan in the video and asks eagerly, “Conan, where are you now?
How are you doing?”
